November 22, 2024 -- Dutch quantum technology company Orange Quantum Systems [OrangeQS] has today launched the OrangeQS Max, which is designed to accelerate the development of quantum computers by making it possible to test new, more powerful quantum chips with a fraction of the R&D resources that are normally required for such testing.

Increasing the quality and quantity of qubits on a quantum chip is the key bottleneck in the development of more powerful quantum computers. Faster, more efficient testing of chips allows for a faster journey from development to commercial production for these chips.

OrangeQS Max is a full-stack test system that can characterize quantum chips with 100+ qubits and tunable couplers via an automated approach, available at the press of a button.

Testing equipment no longer needs to be operated by a quantum physicist, freeing up valuable experts to focus on the design of better quantum chips and quantum computers. This way of working is new to the quantum industry, where quantum chip fabs usually design, build, and maintain their own bespoke equipment.

Developed in collaboration with IQM

OrangeQS has worked with quantum computer manufacturer IQM to ensure the OrangeQS Max meets the needs of today’s commercial chip testing processes to support the operation of IQM’s quantum processor fabrication line. The product is factory acceptance tested on an IQM’s chip and will be shipped to IQM.

OrangeQS Max is available now, with configurations that can be tailored to the needs of each customer.
